Technology and Women's Potential: Bir Launches Training for Winners of the “Ctrl is hers” Program
As part of the “Ctrl is hers” program, implemented by the Bir ecosystem to support women in developing their knowledge and skills in IT and creating career opportunities, intensive training has begun for 66 participants.
In a short period, 1012 applications were submitted for the program. At the initial stage of the multi-stage selection process, 652 candidates were admitted to technical testing. Based on the test results, 103 applicants were invited for an interview, after which 66 women were selected to participate in the program.
As the project continues, the selected candidates will undergo intensive training in areas such as cybersecurity, Frontend and Backend development, Data Science, IT operations and technical support, mobile application development, UX/UI design, IT business analysis, quality assurance and testing (QA), IT management, as well as DevOps and cloud technologies.
As part of the project, the participants have already met with executives and subject-matter experts from the Bir ecosystem. The meeting was attended by Bir ecosystem head Farid Huseynov, head of the payments business Jalal Orujov, and director of the Organizational Development and HR Technologies Department Aygun Musayeva. During the event, the specialists shared their professional experience and provided practical advice on building a career in technology.
Bir ecosystem head Farid Huseynov shared his expectations for the project: “The rapid development of technology not only creates new opportunities but also increases demand for talent and new skills capable of turning these opportunities into reality. The ‘Ctrl is hers’ program is important to us precisely because it creates an environment in which women can realize their potential in technology. We want you not only to gain knowledge here, but also to see how technology is applied in a real business environment, interact with professionals, and continue your career path with greater confidence and strength. I believe that this program will not only support women's personal growth but will also help increase the number of qualified technology professionals in the labor market.”
The training is not limited to theoretical knowledge. Participants interact directly with Bir ecosystem specialists working in various technology fields, become familiar with a real working environment, and have the opportunity to apply their new knowledge in practice.
At the end of the training, the participants' progress will be assessed. Based on the program results, they will have opportunities to participate in internships and pursue further career opportunities within the Bir ecosystem.
